Dear fellow House of light members,

It is with sadness I must write about a note that has been delivered to us. It is written as follows:

''The Plague was just the start, this time your Order will not be spared. Soon I will either see your soul or your bodies festering with Moanders Rot. Pray for mercy so that you may be spared. Darkbringer Ghamm''

Being new to this House I don't really know what to make of it so passing it around until we can figure this mess out. I would also like to offer a few sugestions on our course.

We need allies, or we will wither in isolation. In particular, I have heard whispers of the Penitent Hearts, and believe its worth looking into. I am also hoping to forge links with the Spellguard, Footpads, and the Watch.

I'd like to do some simple get together events. A story on the good gods, followed by food and drink.

Our role must be clearly defined. The house is at the moment disorganised, and poised at a precipice Because of this, I urge that we do not make any enemies in our actions. Our cause must be simple enough for the good of the common, and poor folk. I do not wish to see children starving, or beggars on the streets. If our coin is to do anything, let it be to their aid. Start small, and communicate with each other as we have always done.

This might be a controversial idea, but I'll offer it anyway. We have to realise we are not the same organisation that was once in the building. We are new people, with different ideas about making things work. To reflect this, I suggest we take a different name for ourselves. It might also prevent old grudges from resurfacing. I don't want to take on enemies I have no idea about.
